Blue Collar enlisted the talents of Philadelphia-based illustrator, Kevin Cornell, to create the yin and yang art that's emblazoned on the front of the tees. Each shirt is designed, made, and printed in the USA, and ships right to your doorstep with a burly, brand new BC koozie.

"We want to go tell the dogs and cats the good news for ourselves, so our team is slated to visit the Oregon Humane Society in mid November at their location in Portland," said April Donovan, Partner/Creative Director with Blue Collar Agency. The volunteer day calls for the BC Mechanics to help work on animal socialization—one big cuddle puddle.

The 'why' behind this project can be illustrated with a few short facts courtesy of ASPCA.org and Center4Research.org:

7.6 million pets enter U.S. shelters each year

There are 5x more homeless pets than people

31% of shelter animals are euthanized

On average, people with pets have lower resting heart rates, lower blood pressure, less anxiety and are less likely to be obese
